Genuinely good news, hopefully2 Mar 2023 09:54
The key passage for me is...
"The results of the initial 3D seismic processing and interpretation, to optimise the target location of the CH-1 well at the Cretaceous reservoir level, will be available by mid-March. Following a review by the Operator, the CH-1 well will no longer target the lower Jurassic zone. The processing of the seismic data is more than 80% complete."
...which to me says the delay to CH-1 is for all the best reasons, ie. that the 3D seismic data's ongoing interpretation is advanced enough that it has already indicated that there is a more optimal location/depth for CH-1 to aim at. To me this proves the worth of the whole 3D data gathering exercise - I guess gone are the days (well, for Ruvuma at least) of 'hit-and-hope' exploration drilling...
Overall, a nice bit of news to receive on a dull Thursday morning in early March... :-)
